Our Leadership
The Senior Executive team at Woodvale have portfolios which are tailored to their strengths. We use this collective strength to drive our improvement agenda forward and provide excellence in education for all our students.
The team consists of Principal Mrs Fairfoul-Hutcheon, Vice Principal Mr Richards, Associate Principals Mrs Renae Hill and Ms Geddis.
Student Services
The student services team at Woodvale are responsible for working in partnership to provide pastoral care, connection, engagement and opportunity for our students. Our mission is to build a resilient and healthy student group who can participate fully in their secondary school experience – learning and working together.
Students and families can access assistance for social, emotional, attendance, leaning, behaviour, vocational and health concerns through our team of experts. This team consists of a Head of Year for each group, Psychologist, Chaplain, Community Health Nurse and Learning Support Coordinator.
Student Council
Our students are represented by elected councillors who participate in committees– leading positive action in sustainability, advocacy for the Arts and Design and community engagement. Our Council lead and manage social and fundraising events, advocate for their peers and consult with staff leaders on a variety of important issues.
Leadership Academy
Our Leadership Academy provides students in Years 7 to 9 with the opportunity to develop their leadership skills through hands-on experiences and meaningful contributions to the College and wider community. Students are selected through an application process and participate in weekly meetings focused on personal development, teamwork, and service.
Students take part in a range of projects, including year group challenges, fundraising initiatives, and College-wide events. In 2024 they painted part of a College wall as part of the Fish Project. They also support the work of the Student Council and collaborate with senior Prefects to explore the G.R.I.P. Leadership skills and qualities. Each term focuses on a specific leadership theme—such as Teamwork, Confidence, Unity, and Engagement—with sessions facilitated by the Leadership Coordinator and external organisations such as Zero2Hero.
The program empowers students to plan and deliver events while strengthening their confidence, collaboration, and connection to the College community.
